The noise level for each image was measured by repeating each data acquisition with the same receiver gain for data sampling, without applying any RF pulses or gradients.
A 10-min acquisition was performed for each of the protocols (ultra-high-resolution study) and a second acquisition series with the same phantom was performed with lower activity by repeating the three scans after 20 h (high-resolution study).
The CT scan was performed immediately after completion of PET acquisition, planned with the same scout view.
WT and mutant tissue sections were collected together on the same slide, in order for them to be processed in the same immunostaining experiment, thus with identical immunostaining conditions, and were analyzed in identical acquisition conditions (with the same exposure time).
Acquisition was performed with the same settings as in experiment 1.
Each phantom was scanned using a 15-min acquisition and reconstructed with the same parameters as for the in vivo study.
The image acquisition was performed with the same equipment.
In order to allow overlay of NAD(P H and TMRM signals, image acquisition was set with the same pinhole aperture (Airy 2.03), necessarily increased because of the low signal of NAD(P H autofluorescence.
It will consist of predicting unseen DW MRI scans given a set of examples made of acquisitions from the same subjects performed with different MRI machines and different DW protocols.
Coordination efficiencies and teamwork are encouraged when each account acquisition person works consistently with the same account manager(s).
